context_page_description: The Siamese-Vietnamese War of 1831–1834, also known as the Siamese-Cambodian War of 1831–1834, was sparked by a Siamese invasion force under general Bodindecha, attempting to conquer Cambodia and Southern Vietnam. After initial success and the defeat of the Khmer army at the 1832 Battle of Kompong Cham, in 1833 the Siamese advance was repelled in South Vietnam by the forces of the Nguyen Dynasty. Upon the outbreak of a general uprising in Cambodia the Siamese army withdrew and Vietnam was left in control of Cambodia.
context_section_description: All three Siamese armies left Bangkok on the same day in November 1832. King Ang Chan and his court immediately fled to Long Hồ in Vĩnh Long Province. The main column of Chao Phraya Bodindecha marched from Battambang on the eastern bank of the Tonle sap lake to seize Pursat and Kampong Chhnang. The second column advanced on the western bank of the lake. Bodindecha left the princes Ang Em and Ang Duong at Phnom Penh and proceeded to Ba Phnum. The fleet of Phraklang reached Hà Tiên in January 1833. The Vietnamese, who had been preoccupied with Lê Văn Khôi's rebellion, were caught unprepared and the Siamese quickly took Hà Tiên. Phraklang then sailed his fleet upstream the Vĩnh Tế Canal and also quickly took Châu Đốc in the An Giang Province. Bodindecha, who had reached Ba Phnum, sent his brother-in-law Chao Phraya Nakhon Ratchasima to bring 7,000 men eastwards through Ba Phnum district directly to Saigon and Bodindecha himself joined Phraklang at Châu Đốc. Emperor Minh Mạng then ordered Trương Minh Giảng and Nguyễn Xuân to counter the Siamese offensives in An Giang.
